       for read/write access and database creation if it doesn&#039;t currently exist,
       and <em>n</em> for create, truncate and read/write access.

       Additionally you can set the database lock method with the next char. 
       Use <em>l</em> to lock the database with a <var class="filename">.lck</var>
       file or <em>d</em> to lock the databasefile itself. It is 
       important that all of your applications do this consistently.
      </p>
      <p class="para">
       If you want to test the access and do not want to wait for the lock 
       you can add <em>t</em> as third character. When you are 
       absolutely sure that you do not require database locking you can do 
       so by using <em>-</em> instead of <em>l</em> or
       <em>d</em>. When none of <em>d</em>, 
       <em>l</em> or <em>-</em> is used, dba will lock
       on the database file as it would with <em>d</em>.

        There can only be one writer for one database file. When you use dba on 
        a web server and more than one request requires write operations they can
        only be done one after another. Also read during write is not allowed.
        The dba extension uses locks to prevent this. See the following table:

        It&#039;s possible to open database files over network connection. However
        in cases a socket connection will be used (as with http or ftp) the
        connection will be locked instead of the resource itself. This is important 
        to know since in such cases locking is simply ignored on the resource 
        and other solutions have to be found.

        and <em>&quot;t&quot;</em> were added.
        In previous PHP versions, you must use semaphores to guard against
        simultaneous database access for any database handler with the exception 
        of GDBM. See <a href="book.sem.html" class="link">System V semaphore support</a>.

        The open mode <em>&quot;c&quot;</em> was broken for several internal handlers and truncated
        the database instead of appending data to an existent database. 
        Also <em>dbm</em> and <em>ndbm</em> failed on mode <em>&quot;c&quot;</em> in typical configurations (this 
        cannot be fixed).
